Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    In faith, he is a worthy gentleman,
    Exceedingly well read, and profited
    In strange concealments, valiant as a lion,
    And wondrous affable, and as bountiful
    As mines of India.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When each thing is unique in itself, there can be no comparison made.... There is only this strange recognition of present otherness.
